Page 29: Maintenance Information
For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading. - Page 30 Fault 2 U5 & U6 Break U7 & U8 Fault 1 Outer U9 & U10 Fault 2 U11 & U12 Break U13 & U14 Fault 1 U15 & U16 Fault 2 U17 & U18 30A FAULT INSERTION SWITCH 40-191A Page 7.2...
